PS4 Firmware 3.0 Features

Online storage capacity increase: PlayStation Plus members’ PS4 cloud storage capacity will increase from 1GB to 10GB

Hallefuckinglujah anybody and their dog would have known that 1GB was pathetic, granted 10GB will probably still be restricting if save file sizes go on the rise but it's 10x better than what we had so no complaints.
 
I'm honestly pretty underwhelmed that this is 3.0. Not a lot of features I care about. What would be cool are folders and a ui revamp.

E: oh and notification when friends come online would be great, also appear offline. So crazy that isn't here yet.
 
Screenshots: We’ve listened to your feedback and we’re happy to confirm that PNG format is now an option for Screenshot saves

FINALLY!!!

PlayStation Plus members’ PS4 cloud storage capacity will increase from 1GB to 10GB

This is good as well.
 
Are Sony about to add a selection of PSNow games free with PS+?

Sounds like a nice update, the big 2 features for me are the PNG screens and extra storage. Hopefully folders for arranging games and or ability to hide past apps/games will sneak into the update, that would be perfect.
 
Actually, wonder if they will replace all future subscription games with psnow titles.

I don't think they'd do that but what if any game you've already bought on the PS3 through PSN, and is on PSNow, will become available to play free of charge? If you look at the recent inclusions to PSNow, they're all PSN titles ...

I'd take free psnow titles however I can get them.
 
The button is not wasted. There are more buttons on the DS4 than the DS3.

That complaint reminds me so much of people whining about fighting game characters.

"X character is in?? UGH!! WASTED SLOT!!"

It's not like Sony was going to add a button for the single most amazing game related feature in history of video games, and then said "nah, let's just change the button to taking screenshots lololol"
 
Do you ever have anything positive to say? It must be fun being you. Lol

I care about most of this stuff. :/ I think this is a pretty good update.
Now that I think about it, I actually don't. I've become a lot more critical of PSN since Sony started charging for online. The new group thing could be useful, we'll see, but I'm still waiting on basic shit that the PS3 and Xbone have (infinite cloud storage). :p
Your PS4 should list items that it cannot use or play? Man you're really reaching. That'd be more confusing. The web store has a shitty version of what you're after.
I was talking about avatars. The webstore isn't particularly useful in that regard.

I don't think PSNow titles will ever be free. It costs money to maintain the service and to stream games to you. They'd never offer something like that fully free of charge.

As long as it doesn't takeaway from the 6 game selection and is in addition, I think this would be a good idea. PlayStation Now is useless trash. I haven't even bothered to try it (before someone jumps on me for that, the prices and crappy selection are why it's trash - the inferior quality doesn't help). If there were some PSNow games on PS+, I would definitely give them a try.

It would be a great way of adding BC though, don't you think? Anything you've already bought digitally and is on PSNow is yours to play for free. I don't think it would take that much away from PSNow considering it isn't really for console owners.

Ugh all this new shit. I just want some more stability updates.

But really... PNG!!! 10 GB!!!! Bout time baby
 
10GB is just buying time and ultimately will be inadequate if they don't fix the save file bloat quickly. Still, a welcome change.

The bigger issue for me is that it's just a big dumb block of storage that we can auto-upload to from ONLY our primary console. There's no intelligent synchronization like on Xbox. Save files should automatically sync via the cloud no matter which console you're playing on.

Also, really wish captures would cloud sync as well. It's especially annoying when trophies you earn on another console don't have the screenshot available on your main console.
 
Do the Favourite Groups mean we can now make various Groups and add friends to them? If so that is brilliant, I've been wanting that for so long. Still want to be able to sort the friends list by game being played though, that feature is a no-brainer if you ask me.

Communities sounds interesting but I'll need to see how it actually works in practice before getting excited, could be great or mediocre.

Storage increase is long overdue and great news. PNG screenshots are really nice, even if I make very little use of them it's nice to have that better quality available.
 
Most of those features are pretty specific and nothing I'd be all that interested in. Maybe communities for fighting games. But...

PRAISE THE SUN!
 
Some good stuff there.. storage needs to be more but its a good start. I would really REALLY like the to track time played on games... Steam, Xbox One all do it and I am a stat junkie. Hope its added in a future update.

What in the world. I didn't know this was happening. Thank goodness. The store has always been insanely cluttered.
 
ugh the store is still a mess.

they make it impossible to find demos. like I still can't find them on the new UI of the store. horrible.

Praise the sun! My notifications log is filled with "Could not upload..." notifications because The Witcher 3 keeps like 10 different saves it keeps trying to upload even though I only have two manual saves. That's like 120mb of save files, right there.
 
10gb cloud storage shows that they actually listen. It was my most direly requested feature, and now the system is pretty much optimal for me. Folders and certain notifications would be the cherry on top.

These communities sound great too. Can't wait to beta test.

Small issue that doesn't really matter, but it'd be nice if they instead made the PS Store logo glow or change to a different color rather than box it when selected, given that it has a transparent bg.
